From the collection of Y & B Bolour, it showcases a graceful floral wreath medallion framed by a richly layered botanical border.

On the Design:

This charming antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour features a romantic floral medallion pattern centered on an abundant bouquet of roses, wildflowers, and leafy sprays. A softly graduated ivory oval frames the arrangement, creating a gentle transition to the dramatic charcoal field beyond. Encircling the layout is a lush botanical border of layered blossoms and scrolling foliage, lending the piece remarkable depth while preserving the balanced symmetry characteristic of early twentieth-century American hooked rugs.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate the masterful hand-hooked technique that celebrates the enduring traditions of American folk art. The densely worked wool surface brings warmth, texture, and painterly nuance to the floral layout, while the restrained palette of charcoal, ivory, blush, sage, butter yellow, and soft blue reinforces its timeless decorative appeal. Carefully curated by Rug & Kilim Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal, this piece stands as an exceptional example of historic American craftsmanship, equally suited to traditional and thoughtfully layered contemporary interiors.
